Answer:
The answer is indeed letter C) devastating.
Explanation:
Devastating is a present participle. Present participles are formed by adding -ing to a verb, and they can be used as adjectives to indicate that someone or something causes a certain feeling or reaction over someone or something else. For example, from the verb "to exhaust", we can form the present participle "exhausting". If a marathon is exhausting, it means it causes that feeling, it makes people incredibly tired (exhausted).
In the sentence "A devastating fire swept through the valley", "devastating" is the adjective modifying the noun fire. The fire now has a quality - it causes devastation.
Occasionally, though, Mrs. Flowers would drift off the road and down to the Store and Momma would say to me, "Sister, you go on and play." As I left I would hear the beginning of an intimate conversation. Momma persistently using the wrong verb, or none at all.
"Brother and Sister Wilcox is sho'ly the meanest—" "Is," Momma? "Is"? Oh, please, not "is," Momma, for two or more. But they talked, and from the side of the building where I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me, I heard the soft-voiced Mrs. Flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting. They were interrupted from time to time by giggles that must have come from Mrs. Flowers (Momma never giggled in her life).

All at once, pandemonium broke loose. ______________ the marching band came around the corner, dogs began barking, and the horses pulling the mayor's carriage began to run!
Which word best completes the passage above?
a.Anyway
b.Because
c.Following
d.Simultaneously
The alternative that fits best is " d.Simultaneously"
Thus, the complete sentence would read: "All at once, pandemonium broke loose. Simultaneously the marching band came around the corner, dogs began barking, and the horses pulling the mayor's carriage began to run!"
The explanation for this is that the word "Simultaneously" is the only one that fits the phrase, and maintains the coherence and cohesion of the text. The words "anyway", "because", and "follwing", when embedded in the phrase, change the meaning of what the author wanted to go through.
